Keranis Residences: Redefining Modern Urban Living in Greece

Mercan Greece, part of the Canadian Mercan Group of Companies, proudly introduces Keranis Residences—a visionary mixed-use real estate development that redefines urban living in Piraeus. Strategically located at the site of the historic Keranis building in Piraeus, which remained inactive for more than two decades, this project represents a strategic transformation of a once-abandoned landmark into a vibrant and sustainable residential community.

At a time when urban centers across Greece are facing increasing pressure from rising housing demand and limited supply, this project offers a timely and strategic response to the current market needs.

Spanning 29,900 square meters, the development features 408 fully furnished, energy-efficient apartments across six floors, offering a diverse mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. Designed with modern lifestyles in mind, each unit ranges from 44 to 69 square meters, reflecting the growing demand for high-quality, contemporary housing in the greater Athens area.

With direct access to Piraeus’s historic port, central Athens, and the Athenian Riviera via metro, train, tram, highway, and bus routes, Keranis Residences combines a prime location with seamless connectivity—an ideal setting for families, young professionals, and international investors alike.

Now entering the development phase the project has obtained all the required permits from the Greek authorities to commence construction. The company has started the preparatory actions to deliver the site to the construction company which will carry out the completion of the project works.

Community-Centered Urban Regeneration

Keranis Residences is designed to be more than a residential complex — it is a lifestyle destination with amenities that promote well-being, community interaction, and daily convenience:

  • Rooftop garden with panoramic city views
  • Onsite dining, cafés, restaurants, and retail shops
  • Fitness center and landscaped outdoor leisure areas
  • Office spaces and professional facilities on lower floors

This transformative development will bring significant economic and social value to the Piraeus region. The project will create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs across construction, engineering, property management, and real estate sectors, while also stimulating local business activity through its commercial spaces and increased foot traffic.

With new residents and visitors flowing into the area, the development:

  • Stimulates commercial growth for local shops, cafés, restaurants, and services
  • Increases property values and attracts further private and public investment
  • Helps transform Piraeus into a desirable, future-ready urban destination

Shaping the Future of Piraeus and the Athens Area

By revitalizing a long-neglected industrial site into a modern, multifunctional living space, Keranis Residences sets a new benchmark for sustainable, community-first development in Greece.

Keranis Residences is more than a development—it is a catalyst for growth, livability, and connectivity in one of the Mediterranean’s most dynamic urban hubs. For more information, visit Mercan Greece’s website, www.mercanproperties.gr.
